Not any play, no. But that's sometimes a giveaway.Quote:

I don't think he's planning to list all the plays within each playbook. That'd be a massive level of effort.Quote:

Ahh okay I get it now and thanks for the example Unconquered.Quote:

Custom Playbook shows the playart of the play on the right.

My bad I totally forgot I thought it just showed the formation and then listed the play name. Ahhh! I want the game!
This may have been answered elsewhere, but how many custom playbooks are we allowed to have?
I noticed in the Day One Update thread that we will have the ability to pick the computer's playbook. Might be useful for eliminating the all out blitz from the cpu's repertoire.

Would someone be willing to do a video walkthrough of just the wildcat formations in the ncaa 2012 custom playbooks feature?
i'd love to see everything wishbone has to offer... formations and playsQuote:

I know they all had different names but were they all actually different formations? Any and all the plays from the various formations will be in the one formation.Quote:

Yeah... looks like other than Gator Heavy, Wildcat and Wildcat Spread, the unique Wildcat style formations have the same treatment as Goalline. They're tied to specific playbooks, which is very unfortunate. That said, I'm going through all of the playbooks now (only 5 or so remaining) and creating a spreadsheet that shows every formation in a playbook, including Wildcats and Goalline so if you want a specific one, you can at least start with that team as your template. It sucks but it's at least a workable solution.
Well that's a disappointment, that changes a few things. So just to be clear, If i wanted the Rutgers wildcat formation I would have to use their playbook as my base?
Yes. That appears to be the way it currently works. Not sure if it's a certain or intentional at this point.Quote:

They were actually copied over from madden. If you go to formation subs and look at wildcats other than the "standard" ones they say things like wildcat_chiefs and wildcat_bengals and ect.Quote:

With that being said, I wonder if there is some hidden Pistol goodness in the Nevada, Ohio, Indiana, UCLA, Hawaii, etc. that can only be used in those playbooks, if any? If this proves to be true, it tempers my excitement a little towards Custom Playbooks. Rather than having everything at my fingertips, I've got to do a thorough search through each Team playbook for Team specific plays.
No. The only "hidden" formations are Wildcats (12), Goallines (6), and Syracuse has Empty - Flex Trey which is unique to them.Quote:

Sometime in the future I plan to outline the unique formations and what is included in them (including play-art) since you can't see them in the CPB creation area.
These team-specific Wildcat formations sound annoying. Wish they had just dumped them all in custom playbooks ...Quote:

Not sure about Syracuse's formation but yeah I would assume it's some kind of oversight.Quote:

Yeah, I wish they would be as well. It was my understanding initially that they would be but something obviously changed along the way.Quote:

Yeah... that's something I hope is added next year.Quote:

It's a work around for the time being at the very least, as far as reordering the formations.
Those goallines formations I'm going to take a look at a few teams each night here for a bit till we kick off online dynasties. If I come across any I'll let you know G.
Yo G...don't know if you can answer, but "Wildcat Ace"...(Its Unique, btw)
Is that what I think it is? 2 WR, 2 TE?
That and Wildcat tackle over?Quote:
